Andrew Ferguson, of Elbridge, a respected member in the racing community, has been racing since he was 5 years old.

He should be getting ready for his first full season as a modified dirt car driver, but the car is all he has left now after somebody stole his trailer right out of his driveway. The trailer contained $20,000 worth of spare parts, tools and racing gear.

Ferguson's first race starts in less than a week and his family is asking the community for help to gather enough parts.

"The thing that bothers me is all the things inside that my father and I have worked so hard, mom too, so hard…Given up everything…Sold things we didn't need, done stuff to get what we need and now in one blow, everything's gone," Ferguson explained told NewsChannel9. “It's a punch in the stomach that somebody would come and take everything.”

Anyone with information about the case should call State Police at 315-366-6000.
